Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kira was beyond irritated. "I like the Urt idea," she said. "You never know, he might be gay. I think you should go for it."

Claudette and Blair weren't sure if they should breathe that sigh of relief yet. He was massaging her leg, and she was rubbing his back. If Svana didn't act, Kira would. That was her man.

Kira looked at Mynoris and said, "I took a man's virginity once. It was rather awful. If I can avoid that again, I will."

Svana shrugged toward Kira. "I like virgins. They're trainable." She turned to Baldur. "He's had nothing but human women for the past century. He's probably a trench of bad habits I'd have to break."

"Offers on the table," he reminded her, hands spread.

And damn if it wasn't tempting. "I'll bring in Urt," she agreed offhandedly to Kira. "He'll probably be by soon anyway to make sure I'm not dead."

Jelryn glances over at the group of them. It's hard to tell if his expression is disdainful, pitying, a mix of both, or perhaps something else entirely. Whatever it is, however, it's not very friendly. With a sigh, he pulls a book out from his robes and begins to read.

"That might be how you feel," Mynoris says to Blair, "but you should still be smart about things, or else you might both end up dead, or worse." She shakes her head. "Not my place to say what's right, or what's wrong, but that's what my observations tell me. You, or your family at any rate, has something she wants, and she'll be much more gracious when she knows she has it secured. At least, that's what my experiences would indicate." She raises her eyebrows to Kira with a questioning expression to see if the magic user will confirm or deny her speculations.

"I'm curious to see this Urt of yours," she says to Svana with a faint grin. "Though I'm wondering what it is about human women in particular that would give him bad habits, that human men, or non-human women, would not." Technically Mynoris isn't human, but by all appearances, she has the body of one.

Off in his corner of the room, Jelryn is concentrating rather intently. Moments later there's a soft 'pop' and the air around him shimmers briefly. He waits a few seconds, then makes a soft hiss of disapproval. Apparently what he was trying to do failed to work. Scowling faintly, he goes back to looking through his book.

"I've just never seen an Orc before, and that is very interesting to me. We didn't have anything with that name on my world," Mynoris explains. Then she nods her head. "Ah, yes. And elven men are more intuitive about pleasure? Your women must be very lucky then," she says with a laugh. "Men where I'm from are pretty much the same as you described."

"Of course you don't want to be a slave," Mynoris says to Blair, somewhat gently, "but if you don't have the power to change your own fate, then the wise thing would be to cater to the person who does have that power. In this case, I'm guessing it is your fiance, correct?"

Svana scoffed. "Elven men are not intuitively better. They've simply had more time to perfect their performances. The same with the women. A young elf--which Baldur is--and one practically raised with humans has no chance of having any experience or class."

He shrugged, baring a grin. "It's not like you'll ever find out."

"Offer's off the table?" she sneered.

"Naturally."

She glanced toward Blair again, but instead agreed with Kira. "Yes, let's have that cup of coffee."
